Comment on: Friendly's restaurant chain reinvents itself - News - Boston.com

Comment on: 'SCAN IT! Mobile is a supermarket smartphone app that works as a super-fast self-checkout'

Comment on: Yes, again -- forecast calls for up to a foot of snow

Comment on: Monday question: Card etiquette - Miss Conduct - Boston.com
I don't need a personal note on the cards I get -- it's nice to know I was thought of at all! But as far as those photo postcards go -- though they are fun to receive (usually), they annoy me because more »

Comment on: 'Vision tests proposed for drivers over 75'
